Environmental Justice & Supplemental Indexes
The environmental justice and supplemental indexes are a combination of environmental and socioeconomic information. For each of the environmental indicators in EJScreen, there is an EJ Index and a Supplemental EJ Index. The indexes for a selected area are compared to those for all other locations in the state or nation. For more information and calculation details on the EJ and supplemental indexes, please visit the EJScreen website.
EJ INDEXES
The EJ indexes help users screen for potential EJ concerns. To do this, the EJ index combines data on low income and people of color populations with a single environmental indicator.
